In this case, you should eat a light diet, avoid having sex, and pay attention to personal hygiene. The pain will be effectively relieved and you will recover as soon as possible.

What causes a stinging sensation when a woman is about to urinate?

This situation is mainly caused by inflammatory infection, which is directly related to urinary tract infection caused by getting angry. It is a chronic disease and requires medication and observation.

Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infection in Women:

Symptom 1: Low back pain

Low back pain is one of the symptoms of urinary tract infection. Low back pain will occur when the renal capsule, renal pelvis, and ureter are irritated or the tension increases. Lower urinary tract infection generally does not cause low back pain. Inflammation of the kidney and surrounding areas, such as renal abscess, perinephritis, perirenal abscess, and acute pyelonephritis, often cause persistent and severe swelling and pain in the lower back. The low back pain caused by chronic pyelonephritis is often soreness.

Symptom 2: Systemic symptoms

Symptoms such as fever, chills, headache, etc. are mainly seen in patients with upper urinary tract infection, especially those with acute urinary tract infection and urinary tract obstruction.

Symptom 3: Abnormal urination

Abnormal urination is one of the symptoms of urinary tract infection. The most common abnormal urination caused by urinary tract infection is frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. Urinary incontinence and urinary retention may also be seen. In the early stage of chronic renal failure caused by chronic pyelonephritis, there may be polyuria, and in the later stage, there may be oliguria or anuria.

Symptom 4: Abnormal urine

Urinary tract infection can cause abnormal changes in urine, the most common of which are bacteriuria, pyuria, hematuria and pneumaturia. Routine urine examination may show white blood cells, red blood cells or even protein.

What to do if a woman has a urinary tract infection:

1. General treatment: When symptoms are obvious, you should rest in bed, drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and alkalize urine appropriately.

2. Try to choose sensitive antibiotics based on drug sensitivity tests. Before that, SMZco, quinolone antibiotics, ampicillin, second- or third-generation cephalosporin antibiotics, etc. should be selected based on clinical conditions. For patients with more acute and severe conditions, combined intravenous administration should be used.

3. Correct the complex factors that cause urinary tract infection, such as stones, urinary tract obstruction, vesicoureteral reflux, etc.

4. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine.

Treatment for UTIs also includes self-treatment:

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene to avoid repeated infections.

2. Get more rest and get enough sleep to improve your resistance.

3. Drink plenty of water, more than 1500-2000 ml a day, to increase urine volume, which can not only flush and clean the urethra, but also excrete drug metabolites from the body and reduce drug toxicity.

4. It is advisable to eat light, water-rich foods and fresh vegetables and fruits, because they are rich in vitamin C and carotene, which are beneficial to control inflammation and help repair urinary tract epithelial cells. You should also eat more foods that have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria, such as chrysanthemum, shepherd's purse, amaranth, winter melon, etc.

5. Avoid spicy and irritating foods such as leeks, onions, garlic, pepper, ginger, etc. Avoid warm foods such as lamb, dog meat, rabbit meat, and greasy foods to avoid aggravating inflammation.

6. Avoid the stimulation of tobacco and alcohol.

7. Try to avoid sexual intercourse during the illness to reduce congestion in the urinary and reproductive tracts and prevent mutual infection.
